[...] I have a copy of Leap 42.3 installed and kept up-to-date on almost a daily basis.
This morning 42.3 received another update which also upgraded the kernel-default to 4.4.73 and now I am unable compile the nVidia driver (375.66) which I normally do after a kernel upgrade.
When trying to compile the nVidia driver I get this the error msg:
/quote
Kernel module compilation complete. -> Unable to determine if Secure Boot is enabled: No such file or directory ERROR: Unable to load the kernel module 'nvidia-drm.ko'. This happens most frequently when this kernel module was built against the wrong or improperly configured kernel sources, with a version of gcc that differs from the one used to build the target kernel, or if a driver such as rivafb, nvidiafb, or nouveau is present and prevents the NVIDIA kernel module from obtaining ownership of the NVIDIA graphics device(s), or no NVIDIA GPU installed in this system is supported by this NVIDIA Linux graphics driver release.

This is not the first time this has happened over the past weeks and some update to 42.3 days later often solves this problem.
BC Suggest you update your nvidia driver to 381.22, or try the new beta 384.47 (or patch your 375.66 driver). Latest versions and patches can be found via

BTW, it is also worth installing and setting up dkms - except when new kernel versions break the nvidia drivers, it makes kernel upgrades much easier by automatically building the nvidia modules for the new kernel (or, for an older kernel if you boot to one that has not had the driver module previously built).

Thank you, Rodney, for this info. But I have a question re the above and what I normally see when I go to NVidia to download the latest driver for my GPU.
The nVidia web page
https://www.geforce.com/drivers
does not show the driver 381.22 when I do a search for the driver for my card but shows 375.66 as the latest driver for my GTX 660 card. Is this because that page has yet to be updated to show 381.22 or is it because this driver is not suitable for my GPU? Would appreciate your comment as I would rather, for personal reasons, not go wading thru the nVidia Forum to find an answer.
